846 Olivia Street - Key West - built circa 1908Just Listed by Preferred Properties (that's where I work) 846 Olivia Street in Old Town Key West. I found an old photo (above) of this old house (built in 1908) showing the way it appeared in 1965. The photo below shows a similar view in 2011. The listing agent says the building was originally a tobacco barn. The agent describes the current use this way:
"There are so many unique properties in Key West and this is no exception. Originally this was a Tobacco Barn which has been renovated to include a two story main living area with 3 bedrooms, two baths and a lock out suite. Most of the materials used in the renovation have been recycled. On the second story addition there are two spacious bedrooms and a spa like bathroom with its own terrace and entrance. On the first level is a bright designer kitchen with the newest energy saving stainless steel appliances. Located on the corner of Olivia and Packer across from the cemetery. Off street parking."

Note the mother-in-law's sitting porch
Main entrance to house is on Packer Street which also has a porchThe asking price on this 1817 sq ft property (sits on a 36'x58' lot) is
$529,000 or
$291 per sq ft. The house is divided between the main house and what I'll call a mother-in-law suite complete with kitchen and bath. The main part of the house has a slick and sparse look that totally surprised me. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The galley kitchen is 'arty' and minimalist. The stairs to the second floor seem to float. The two bedrooms and bath are located up there. The mother-in-law part of the house is located on the main level only.

The house is located at the corner of Packer and Olivia Streets.
CLICK HERE for a GOOGLE MAP view of the area. Packer is just one block long at this location. Olivia is a one way street that heads east on the south side of the Key West cemetery. Many folks won't consider a house that is located across from the cemetery. But they should. Homes on any side of the cemetery have great open skies views. And the neighbors are ever so quiet at night. There are no guesthouses, apartment buildings or commercial properties nearby so you won't have to fight for a place to park your car. The house has a parking space anyway.
If you would like to see this house or any other property in Key West, please consider calling me,
